Isaac Hilbert, young farmer living in Exeter township, Pa, has been, declared insane, and will be sent to an asylum be- cause he imagined that he was commis- stoned by the Almighty to erect monu- ment to Eve, whose memory he considers has been sadly neglected. On the hillside back of his home he has built immense stone piles as memorials to the Universal mother of us all, y and it was his custom,
 violin in hand, to perch himself in the trees overhead and play mournful airs as requiems to her memory. He never re- mained indoors at night in fair weather,
 but from dusk to dawn employed the lone ly hours in the worship of Eve in this way.

''The statement printed that freely ad- mitted that was the Luther of the nine- teenth century is piece of downright rascality and .villainy,' says the Rev. Dr. McGlynn. He adds that it would be a fragrant piece of presumption for him to make such claim to celebrity, as well as "gross treason" to the Roman Catholic church. 'tI have not resisted the author ity of the church, and shall not. I simply deny the authority of any one to summon me to Rome as the preliminary step to re- canting what I believe. I am as good a catholic as the pope himself"

SCHOOL BONDS.
Bids for Them Receivable Up to
this Afternoon.

this Afternoon.
To-day bids will be received for the
$3.50, 900 in school bonds voted few
weeks ago at an especial election. Sc
far City Clerk Freeman q. Teed has
received no envelopes containing bids,
but they will be receiv BILE up to 2
o'clock this afternoon. 1t was ex-
pected that some bids would be sent
in from San Francisco, but it seems
that the capitalists have other uses
for their money. 1t is possible, how
ever that some bids may come to
hand before . o'clock this afternoon.
Considering the seriousness of the
matter it is thought that some steps
should be taken by the citizens
to see that the money is forth
coming with which the needed schools
can be built. Some of the parents
who have children who cannot attend
school full days think that the Board
of Trade should take up the matter.
They say that the Board of Trade
started the subscriptions for hotel,
and it would seem Of as great import
ance, that proper school facilities be
furnished the city. Nothing adver-
tises city more than great advantages
in the way of education and ste ps
should be taken to see that Los An
geles does not suffer from want of
schools.

heaped upon them but they were
undaunted. The father in China is
vested with great powers, as to his
family relations, and the triumph
of Christianity depended upon his
conversion. which is frequently diff
cult matter, but as a resu t of hard
and earnest work the missionaries were
converting 10000 heathen per year.
The ancient custom of drowning
newly-born infants by casting them
into the rivers still exists to some ex-
tent in China, but the efforts OF the
mission were abating the practice
very materially. The parents bear no
love for their offspring, which is the
reason the practice is continued.
A powerful organization composed
of Christian women who have been
converted, is now exerting itself to
suppress the practice and is succeed
ing admirably as 100000 infants have
been saved in one year.
AS a rule the converts are sincere
and usually make earnest workers in
| the cause.
The extreme veneration with which
the heathen regards the Christian is
shown by an instance which came un-
der the Bishops observation. A
Pagan woman lay dying in misera-
BILE hut, which was the residence of
one of her friends, who had done
all in their power to preserve her
life, but in vain one of them sudden
ly thought of the kind Christian
woman, and it was determined to re-
move the sick woman to the house of
the Christians who applied restora-
tives and shortly the woman was
brought to life; she opened her eyes
and stared vacantly about, and upon
realizing what had been done for her
by the Christians, could not under
stand why they had been SO kind to
her, and asked in genuine simplicity,
"Why are you good people SO kind, to
me? My mother never smiled upon
me. l was ill and she laid me in the
street to die" The poor creature was
wholly unused to such kind treatment,
and was at once converted and be-
came great help to the cause.
